It ran like crap on my cutting edge machine too, don't feel bad. I've actually never seen an MMO run this shitty by the time they got around to public testing. They need to do more than a little optimization, an overhaul seems more needed.

Seriously? It ran well on low on my 4850. Only noticed any sort of stuttering in the WvW, which was still surprisingly playable with around ~50 people onscreen. That experience alone has me sold on this game.
